Racing to get home! :lol:

Taken in Infrared and converted to B&W.

The snail's body and mainly it's antennae look perfect, like semitransparent.

That's the point. It has its home put on so no need to hurry.

Yes Peter, semi-transparent it is. Took quite a few in IR and some not. In most of the IR's you can actually see through the antennae and the shell , as you can here...well spotted.

It has its home put on so no need to hurry.

It may seem that the snail carries it's(they are hermaphrodites)home on it's back, though it's shell is merely for protection, rest/sleep, and hibernation. On my morning walk there is often a parade of many crossing the path on the way home to the safety of their plant(usually underside), rock, etc shelters.....
